Entertainer Fishing Charters runs deep-sea fishing expeditions from the Perdido Key area of Pensacola, offering both private and shared fishing charters. Captain Rex runs the boat with a crew that includes Will and Danny, and the address is on Perdido Key Drive on the Florida side of the line — minutes from the Orange Beach condos and closer than the Pensacola Beach fleets for anyone staying on the Key. The crew also provides sunset dolphin cruises, Blue Angels air show viewing cruises, and special event cruises. They aim to create memorable trips for guests of all experience levels, and the shared-charter format is how they actually deliver on that.
What you get
Shared charters put several families on the same boat, which keeps the cost down and takes the pressure off — you don’t need to fill a private boat to go. Private charters are the option when it’s your group and your call. The catch list on their site runs to amberjack, red snapper, vermilion snapper, white snapper, triggerfish, bonita, and banded rudderfish, which is the typical Gulf bottom-fishing mix off Pensacola. Nobody expects you to know how to bait a hook; the crew handles that and the line management for anyone who needs it, and there’s a bait and tackle store on site.
Who it’s for
First-timers, kids (there’s a kids-fish-for-less program), and families who want one big day on the water without the price of a private boat. Experienced anglers will want the private trip and a conversation with the captain about what’s in season.
Before you book
Book online for private trips; shared charters also take walk-ups when there’s room, but in summer that’s a gamble. Red snapper season is short and federally regulated, so if snapper is the goal, check the dates before you plan the week. Motion sickness is real out past the pass — take whatever works for you before you leave the dock, not after. See the fishing page for seasons and the charters roundup for other boats on both sides of the line.
